and now this grand old party is out there doing the limbaugh limbo and causing mystified americans to look at their antics and wonder to the old limbo question, how low can you go? and i have my opinions, but let me share some opinions of others. the editor of the manchester journal acquire page devoted to gop which he called this once great and now mostly shameful party that it has gone crazy, that it is more and more dominated at the lunatic fringe and that it has poisoned itself with hate. he concluded they no longer want to govern. they want to emote. a very well regarded philadelphian columnist wrote at the republican right, if they can get the mileage that the mouse matters. and he went on to quote conservative paranoia and lunacy a foot in our national debate. the respected maureen of "the new york times" and her friend the late william safire lamented the profile and vitriol of today's howling pack of conservative pundits. a nobel prize-winning economist has said, and i quote, the takeover of the republican party by the irrational right is no laughing matter. something unprece

rush limbaugh has too much on his plate. barack obama is the president. he's supposed to be busy. sorry, but after two terms of a president who had more time to work on his tan than george hamilton, obama looks like a guy with hyper activity disorder. by the way, how you spend your time is also important, may i just add that? obama has spent the last eight months trying to pass health care reform and negotiate a ban on nuclear weapons. bush spent eight years just trying to pronounce the word "nuclear." president obama hasn't taken on too much. he just has to work too hard to achieve anything because a lot of people in congress fight him at every turn. you know, it's easy to just sit on your behind and criticize. my staff is doing that right now. i see you. i'm watching all of you. rather than accuse obama of being overextended, why can't these blow-hards in congress come up with some alternatives or solutions? all you hear is this endless stream of no, i don't wanna. you're gonna do what? they sound like me on my wedding night. may i offer up this solution? when these lazy s.o.b.s

and certainly i'm not going to discuss the private conversations i've had, but based on the rush limbaugh, glenn beckham, which is all the news today they are upset at senator mcconnell because he is not opposing the health care bill enough. the reasonable process on this, there are no efforts made to improve this bill, only to kill this bill, and i think that this debate has really come to a point i have rarely seen in the senate, in fact i've never seen this to. to have my friends on the other side of the aisle come to the floor and in some way try to in paris or denigrate me by virtue of the fact that in fact trying to embarrass me. but they should understand any defense i had scheduled this week that have been canceled. even so i had last weekend have been canceled. four or five of them. so i am to say the least i would never, ever intentionally come to the floor and try to talk to somebody about having had a fund-raiser and that is when they are trying to get out of here. the reason that i laid out to the senate what i thought was a reasonable schedule procedurally we are where we ar
